• Descartes famously said “I think, therefore I am.”
  Today’s mantra is “I’m overloaded and anxious.”
  In their new book, “The Power of Agency”, Drs.
  Napper and Rao unpack those two conditions
  with which I am uncomfortably familiar…..even though
  I’m retired, a widow, and have no children living
  at home. This is a very embarrassing admission.
  
  The word “Agency” jumped out at me and I thought okay
  just another buzz word and yet another self-help book.
  However their instructions in the Preface intrigued me
  
  1. You are under no obligation to read this book.
  2. Should you decide to read on, you are under no
  obligation to finish.
  3. Should you finish, you are under no obligation to
  adopt all seven principles we recommend.
  
  So of course I took that as a challenge, read every page and
  suggest you do too. The essential message is “You are in control”.
  Something we’ve all heard before but the authors make their
  case in a very accessible way.
  
  “The 7 Principles to Conquer Obstacles, Make Effective Decisions
  and Create a Life on Your Own Terms” is based upon their clinical experience
  and psychological research. The book is a fresh guide for anyone who wants
  to get off the dreaded “treadmill”.
• This thoughtful well-written book could not have come at a better time for me. As Drs. Napper and Rao note we are often too overwhelmed to experience our agency in life. Reading this book was a wake-up call. Full of great stories and pertinent research that I am applying to my life right now. I think I know myself well and I tend to be proactive but I got great benefit out of every chapter. What I most valued what the order of the chapters ending up with an outstanding chapter on decision making which I put to use immediately.
  
  The first chapter is entitled Control Stimuli – that is essential for reducing my sense of overwhelm. The second chapter is The Company you Keep – led me to make sure to be in touch with some key people who have been sliding out of my life. The third chapter Respect Your Body is not an exhortation for more exercise but an invitation to understand our body-mind relationship better. Napper and Rao referred me to an excellent resource, Why Your Brain Needs More Downtime. Just one example of the outstanding resources that I have been learning about as I read this book.
  
  Reflect, Decide, Act With Agency is the final chapter which brings their work together in a powerful way. I’m pretty familiar with decision making models and this was very accessible. I am facing some difficult decisions right now and I have learned a lot from the one that the authors suggest. I'm thrilled! I needed help and I got it from these friendly, supportive, savvy psychologists. This is a dynamic handbook for living well in our overwhelming age and I recommend it highly
• This book is amazing! I had no idea what Agency was before this book. As a working mom I wear many different hats and learning about having Agency has been instrumental in changing how I approach everything! For my child I am working on helping him to develop his own inner agent. I have used tools from the book to work on not only my long term goals, but with my day to day with professional and personal interactions. For me I feel empowered with the concept of having Agency and taking back control in my life professionally and interpersonally. The book is a great guide and resource to getting unstuck, uncovering your own potential and taking back the control and becoming empowered to tackle anything.
• Drs. Napper and Rao created an easy to read and practical book on how to master Agency in your life. I loved the structure of the book - very early on there are self assessment tools to help you target areas of focus specific to you. There's even the option of skipping around the chapters to get right into tools to help you gain control/bring order and purpose and minimize that feeling of overwhelm. They provide specific examples from their many years of experience in their respective fields. This is hands down one of the best "self-help" books that I have ever read.
• The Power Of Agency is truly a game-changer. If you are seeking a new perspective on how to construct a purposeful life amidst the myriad of modern day demands, this is a book worth reading. Beyond an easy read that balances real-life examples with scientific rigor, the authors offer explicit recommendations that are easy to put into practice. Great for those seeking mindfulness both personally and professionally.
• Navigating the world is increasingly complex, and it is increasingly difficult to do so effectively while remaining true to yourself. More than simple directions, this book provides you tools to envision your destination, successfully chart your own course, and arrive safely. Insightful, charming, and easy to read, it's a must for any modern-day explorer. I hope to run into you all along the way!
• A great book with easy to implement principles that have helped bring a sense of balance to everyday life. If one is feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled or just needing to change some things I would highly recommend this book.
• Awesome book!
